Shamanic Healing
Shamanism is an ancient form of spiritual healing. If you are not familiar with shamanic healing, the practices described below may seem foreign to you, and they can be life-shifting.
The key understanding around shamanic practice is this: We are energetic beings who are intimately connected to the universe around us. Shamanism offers an ancient, nature-based way of working with ourselves and each other, using intuitive, non-linear, and energetic processes to effect spiritual and physical insight, change, and growth.
Shamanic work is equally effective performed remotely as it is in person. In fact, remote work is often more effective than a local “hands-on” connection.

What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is an ancient form of spiritual healing. It is the oldest spiritual practice in the world and is not based upon a particular God or religion, rather on animism, the belief that everything is living and has a soul, spirit, breath, sentience, and agency.
Shamanic techniques and tools have withstood the test of time and are amazingly similar around the world, despite geographic and cultural differences among those practicing this mode of healing.
The practice of shamanism has been found in native Australia, New Zealand, Central and Northern Asia, Eastern and Northern Europe, North and South America and Africa.
What is a Shaman or Shamanic practitioner?
Traditionally, a shaman is an indigenous healer, who through an altered state of consciousness, and with the help of allies and spirit guides, journeys to other realms in the spirit world to bring forward whatever a person needs at that time. This might include obtaining, for example, emotional and physical healing, personal power, important information, or to create healthy closures on ancestral, familial, and personal experiences.
I have great respect for the word “Shaman”, so personally, I refer to myself as a shamanic practitioner. Well-trained shamanic practitioners use these same ancient methods to instill positive change in themselves and others. A core belief of shamanism, and of Reiki too, is that many physical, emotional, and mental problems are rooted in a spiritual imbalance.
How shamanic healing works
A shamanic practitioner helps to restore balance and wholeness by addressing the root causes of a your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. Some of the ancient indigenous techniques used in shamanic sessions include soul retrievals, space, land, and building clearings and blessings, connection with a spiritual ally or power animal (totem), removal of unhealthy energies, ancestral and past life work, curse unraveling, intuitive guidance and mediumship, and helping those who are deceased and suffering to cross into the Light (psychopomp).
Shamanic ceremonies and energy
Releasing of overshadowing energy
Are you sometimes plagued by strong, challenging negative emotions, or persistent negative thinking or critical thoughts? Obsessive negative thinking, overwhelming emotions, and critical thoughts can be energetic “thought forms,” which may overshadow our ability to express our true selves. We are energetic beings, and we are susceptible to taking on external energies without realizing it. This technique releases overshadowing energies from our energetic and physical body so that your true emotional baseline may be uncovered.
A Compassion Depossession is a healthy and friendly alternative to “exorcisms,” more compassionate for all involved.
Soul retrieval
Any form of emotional or physical trauma can potentially result in soul loss or fragmentation. Soul, in this sense, refers to our essence, life force, or part of our vitality. Soul loss in the moment of the trauma is an essential survival tool when the experience is too difficult for us to withstand, process, or experience. We all suffer from some form of soul loss. However, over time, soul loss can result in any number of physical, emotional, or mental conditions or dis-ease. Within the psychotherapeutic world, we describe soul loss as dissociation (or disassociation).
Soul retrievals are the process of reuniting our lost essence(s) with who we are today.
In addition to returning to a person lost soul parts, many experiences can happen during a soul retrieval to include extracting that which doesn’t belong to you, connecting you with your power animals, guardians, and spirit guides, obtaining past life and ancestral information, healing of ancestral and past lives, and discovering other important information that can benefit you in your life today.
Psychopomp And Compassionate Depossession
There are many reasons why people who die sometimes fail to cross over into the Light. This most often happens when the dying person feels strong regret or remorse over their life, and death, especially if they suffer a very tragic death, or if there is a message they feel compelled to share with a loved one before crossing. Working with my allies, we compassionately help these beings cross over into the Light.
A Compassion Depossession is a healthy and friendly alternative to “exorcisms,” more compassionate for all involved.
Intuitive readings
Intuitive readings can include:
Heart walks – Take a walk on the heart-opening side! With heart walks, I connect directly your beautiful and all-knowing, four-chambered heart. We listen to what your heart longs to tell you. Each chamber provides us with different information about you and your life’s path or offers key information to important questions you hold. We can tap into your internal heart-based intelligence through this wonderful heart walk journey.
Rattle or drum journey – Riding on the beat of a drum or rattle, I journey into other realms to retrieve important and often vital information for you. This might include information to help you with important and pressing current decisions, guidance around your future or past lives, or a myriad of information that might be pertinent to you in life today or in the future.
Space clearings
Ever walked into a room or building, or plot of land and had an intuitive sense or “feeling” about the space? Something is not quite right, or the space feels amazing? Whether business building, public or private land, or private dwelling, all spaces collect and hold the energy of the people, animals, events, and circumstances (past and present) that occurred on or in the space or land, to include emotions, memories, and energetic beings that ma still inhabit the space. This energy can impact you, shifting your energy, possibly in ways that are detrimental to you, your family, or friends. Space clearings are a great way to remove the old so that you can bring in the new, allowing you to create your own space the way you want it.
Past Life Regression
Our souls can bring forward into this life the gifts, fears, and lessons from our many past lives. Feeling stuck in your career, a fear of swimming or open water, difficulty taking medicine, fear of public speaking, sexual dysfunction, anything really, could be attached to a past life event or occurrence. In this journey and process, we examine if your current issue stems from past life circumstances.
If through our initial diagnostic journey, we determine that an issue isn’t related to a past life, we would then investigate whether a curse is involved, or if the pattern is ancestrally related.
Curse Unraveling and ancestral healings
Sometimes what plagues us in this lifetime is related to a curse (curses can stem even from thoughts and actions) that have been either intentionally or unintentionally placed on you, one of your past lives, or one of your ancestors. In this highly effective process and journey, we discover the source of what’s holding you back and unravel or unweave it from the inception of the curse or event, whether that’s current or past life or ancestral, to present day, and into your future. This frees you from the limitations, fears, and restrictions holding you back from your goals and desires.
Psychometry
Everything has voice and memory. All beings and all objects, animate and inanimate, originate and are part of the universal life force, or Source. We listen to hear the messages and memories of any object that is important or valuable to you.
Cord Cuttings
As energetic beings, we attach and create cords to many different things, including people, places, and objects, and those people, places, and objects can create cords to us, too. Ideally, we only maintain ongoing or “permanent” cords with our intimate partner and our children under the age of 18 years old. With all other places, objects, and people, we connect only while we’re engaging but then disconnect when the encounter ends. For example, you might cord with one of your parents while you are talking with them on the phone or in-person.
When the call or meeting ends, you want to disconnect or disentangle from them, releasing the energetic cord. This last step often doesn’t happen, especially if you’re highly sensitive or empathic. Instead, you remain connected to many different people, places, or things, potentially draining your own life force and/or remaining under their influence. In this beautiful ceremony, we guide you through the process of removing the energetic cord between you to another.
Benefits
With the help of my spirit guides and allies, I help restore balance and wholeness within you by addressing the root causes of your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual imbalances. Consider a shamanic healing if you are having difficulty making important decisions, or if strong emotions like shame, guilt, resistance, or feeling stuck is present. If you are struggling with past issues, obsessive negative thought patterns, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, or recovery from an accident or trauma, shamanic ceremonies can assist you with overcoming these and achieving your goals.
